Home Lab Overhaul - Part 17:
SSD cache has been live a few days now. Writes jumped from ~270 to ~400, but reads actually dropped from ~830 to ~740. Hit rates are low (9% read, 15% write), but day-to-day editing still feels snappier. Early days, but still a win.

Home Lab Overhaul - Part 16:
Added SSD caching to the UNAS Pro 8. Straightforward install, just a bit fiddly, but very satisfying to finally slot in some proper high-speed storage. Should make working directly off the server a lot smoother.

Home Lab Overhaul - Part 9:
Rack assembled only took me about four hours! Now all my giving gear has a home cutting down on rats nest of cables and isolating the noise! All while looking super nice! Eventually.

Home Lab Overhaul — Part 3:
Unboxed and initial power-on: UniFi console and switch up, UNAS Pro 8 running, basic checks done, firmware queued. ISP modem retained for now while I stage configs.

Installing drive one of two—progress feels good 
The second’s taking a month-long detour, but my data has finally got a home again
